Obesity Flashcards
What is the primary factor in the development of obesity?
Genotype
decreased activity, ease of increased caloric intake, socialization, age, sex, race and economic status are what factors in the development of obesity?
Environment
T/F: Adipose tissue is considered an organ
True

Calculation for BMI
Weight(kg)/height(m2)
(Weight[lbs}/Height[in2]) X 703
What are the BMI classes
25-29.9 Overweight 30-34.9 Obese Class I 35-39.9 Obese Class II 40-44.9 Obese Class III/Morbidly Extreme Obese >45 Obese Class IV/Severe Obesity
Calculation for ideal body weight (IBW)
Broca’s Index
Male = Height(cm) – 100 Female = Height(cm) – 105
Calculation for lean body weight
IBW x 1.3
Lean body weight is 30% higher than IBW, why?
due to extra muscle mass developed to carry extra weight
Adipose Tissue: Major physiologic function
Secretes
protein
Adipose Tissue: Major physiologic function
Endocrine organ -
readily convertible and usable energy
heat insulation
Adipose Tissue: Major physiologic function
Liver fat metabolism - why is this important?
because all cells contain some unsaturated fats synthesized by the liver
Degradation of fatty acids into usable units of energy
Synthesis of triglycerides from carbohydrates and proteins
Synthesis of other lipids from fatty acids (particularly cholesterol and phospholipids)
What is android distribution?
Central or abdominal visceral
Apple shaped
In the android distribution, waist/hip ratio is greater than ___ in men and ____ in women.
0.85 men
0.92 women
Correlated with higher risk of comorbidities
What is gynecoid distribution?
Gluteal femoral or peripheral
Pear shaped
Which type of obesity is associated with greater amount of comorbidities?
Android
heart disease, DM, HTN, dyslipidemia, death
What is gynecoid obesity associated with?
Varicose veins, joint disease
Cardiac pathophysiology:
Increased metabolic demand from..
Increased Cardiac Output of ___ for each kg of fat
fat organ
0.1 L/mi
Cardiac pathophysiology:
Increased ____ and increased ____
For every ____ of fat = 25 miles of neovascularization
Increase ____ + _____ = HTN
Vessels and volume
13.5 kg
Increase volume + RAA activation = HTN
Cardiac pathophysiology:
Increased workload to meet demand has what effects
Increased CO, O2 consumption, CO2 production
Cardiomegaly, atrial and biventricular dilatation and hypertrophy
